Flight Delay Prediction
To comply with security and airline protocol, air travelers should arrive at the airport well in advance of their flight. Without realizing the probability of adverse conditions at the time of the scheduled departure, they may experience inconvenient delays at the airport. Delays can be short and relatively easy to manage, or they can cause long hours of waiting in crowded airports. Flight delays can even cause forced overnight stays at local hotels or inside the terminal. Travelers could benefit from knowing the likelihood of a delay as it could help them prepare for the wait time. Can an app be developed that predicts the impact of weather on airplane departure times?
We created a simple web app to predict flight delays analyzing the weather conditions at the respective flight stations depending on the threshold values required by a flight to take off. So, this application will be helpful to the airlines as well as the passengers looking forward to travel. It can also help the passengers to check the status of flight for the next four days.
